Mark Tabrett

Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Physiology

Applied Sport and Exercise Sciences

I have a life long passion for sport and exercise, particularly in football, badminton, rugby and training. This has lead to an interest in how the body works and adapts to these stresses and strains we place on it.

Biography

I have been at the University since 2010. I have a passion for sport and exercise, particularly in football, badminton, rugby and training. My area of interest is in energy expenditure during rest and physical activity with a focus on economy of human movement. I am a BASES accredited Sport Scientist who has worked with GB Equestrian, Cheltenham Town FC, and various rugby clubs providing performance analysis, profiling and optimum performance. My current support is based around Gloucestershire Fire Service, providing fitness testing, training and advice and running placements for our students.
